Citron

 
 

Yarn Along

 
I'm joining in on Ginny's Yarn Along today.  Her blog, Small Things, has been one of my favorites for a long time.  Her hand-knits are scrumptios and her writing is inspiring.  I hope you'll visit.


This week I am working on knitting the shawlette, Citron.  I'm using Malabrigo lace yarn, in the spring green that has to be one of my all-time favorite colors.  It's a simple enough pattern, though I'm very tired of purling into the back of the increases.  Sigh. 



Now that I'm nearing the finish line, I am contemplating making it larger.  We'll see.

As for reading this week, I am going through my old pile of Victoria magazines.  I guess I have a bit of spring fever.  I'm laughing at some of the things I loved in the 80's - floral couches, anyone?- as well as noticing what kinds of classic decorating styles would still be pretty today. 



Can't wait to show off pictures of my finished shawlette or shawl??  Happy Knitting!

    I feel ya on the long rows of the Citron. That's my current "lagging" project.

    OMG!! Your Citron has given me a thought. I have 2 balls of Rowan Kid Silk Haze I could use to make a Citron. In Apple Green. Yours is gorgeous! My favorite color.
